Grand Lotto 6/55: No Winner, Jackpot Soars to ₱236.6 Million
The Grand Lotto 6/55 draw on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, produced the combination 44-28-48-38-23-42. Unfortunately for bettors, no one matched all six numbers, meaning the jackpot remains unclaimed and will grow even larger for the next draw.
According to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), the jackpot for this draw stood at a massive ₱236,623,866.82. With zero winners, that amount will roll over to the next scheduled draw, likely surpassing the quarter-billion peso mark. This is the third consecutive draw without a grand prize winner, fueling excitement among regular players.
The numbers drawn were spread across the board: two from the 20s (23, 28), two from the 30s (38), one from the 40s (44) and one from the 48. The sum of the combination is 223, which is on the higher end of the typical range. Low numbers (1-31) were scarce, with only 23 and 28 falling into that bracket. This pattern often leads to fewer winners because many players rely on birthday dates, which rarely exceed 31.
“The absence of a winner in the Grand Lotto is not surprising given the high-number bias of the drawn combination,” said a PCSO spokesperson. “We remind the public that jackpots are pari-mutuel, so the prize grows until someone matches all six numbers.”
For those who missed the draw, you can check the table above for the complete list of results. The next Grand Lotto draw will be on Friday, October 2, 2026, with an estimated jackpot of ₱240 million or more. If you’re planning to play, consider mixing high and low numbers rather than relying solely on birthdays.
| Game | Winning combination | Jackpot (PHP) | Winners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Lotto 6/55 | 44-28-48-38-23-42 | 236,623,866.82 | 0 |
| Megalotto 6/45 | 41-35-29-23-20-06 | 83,372,178.85 | 0 |
| 4D Lotto | 0-5-2-9 | 10,000.00 | 94 |
| 3D Lotto 2PM | 4-1-6 | 4,500.00 | 364 |
| 3D Lotto 5PM | 7-1-9 | 4,500.00 | 192 |
| 3D Lotto 9PM | 9-2-5 | 4,500.00 | 603 |
| 2D Lotto 2PM | 09-29 | 4,000.00 | 1000 |
| 2D Lotto 5PM | 07-15 | 4,000.00 | 252 |
| 2D Lotto 9PM | 02-01 | 4,000.00 | 569 |
Megalotto 6/45: Another Rollover as Jackpot Reaches ₱83.3 Million
The Megalotto 6/45 draw on the same evening yielded the combination 41-35-29-23-20-06. Just like the Grand Lotto, there were no jackpot winners, so the top prize of ₱83,372,178.85 will be carried over to the next draw.
This combination features a mix of low and mid-range numbers: 6, 20, 23, 29, 35, and 41. The sum is 154, which is close to the mathematical average for a 6/45 game. Interestingly, three numbers (20, 23, 29) fall within the 20s, a cluster that some analysts call a “sweet spot” for frequent draws. However, the presence of 6 and 41 balances the set.
Since no one hit the jackpot, the Megalotto prize pool will continue to swell. The next draw on Friday, October 2, 2026, is expected to offer a jackpot of at least ₱86 million. For regular players, this is a golden opportunity to aim for a life-changing sum.
It’s worth noting that even without a jackpot winner, there were likely winners in lower prize tiers (5 out of 6, 4 out of 6, etc.), but PCSO has not released those details. The table above shows only the top prize and winner count. If you matched five numbers, you still won a substantial amount—often tens of thousands of pesos.
4D Lotto: 94 Winners Share ₱10,000 Each
The 4D Lotto draw for September 30, 2026, produced the combination 0-5-2-9. Unlike the major lotto games, this draw had 94 winners, each taking home the fixed prize of ₱10,000. That’s a total payout of ₱940,000.
The 4D Lotto is a daily game where players pick four digits in exact order. The winning combination 0-5-2-9 is relatively straightforward, with no repeating digits and a good spread across the 0-9 range. The presence of 0 as the first digit might have thrown off some players who avoid leading zeros, but 94 bettors got it right.
For those new to 4D, the game offers a fixed prize of ₱10,000 for a ₱10 bet, making it a popular choice for players who want better odds than the 6-digit games. The 94 winners represent a decent payout rate, suggesting that the combination was not overly obscure.
If you’re thinking of trying 4D, remember that the order matters. You can also play the “Rambol” option, where the digits can be in any order, but the prize is lower. The next 4D draw will be on October 1, 2026, so check the schedule and get your tickets early.
3D Lotto: 2PM, 5PM, and 9PM Draws Produce Hundreds of Winners
The 3D Lotto is drawn three times daily, and on September 30, 2026, all three draws had winners. The 2PM draw gave the combination 4-1-6, with 364 winners each receiving ₱4,500. The 5PM draw followed with 7-1-9, producing 192 winners at the same prize. Finally, the 9PM draw yielded 9-2-5, which had the highest number of winners for the day: 603.
Let’s break down the numbers. The 2PM combination 4-1-6 is a mix of low and mid digits, with no repeats. The 5PM combination 7-1-9 includes the highest digit (9) and a mid-range 7, plus 1. The 9PM combination 9-2-5 is interesting because it contains 9, which appeared in the 5PM draw as well. Some players might have noticed this repeat and played it.
The 3D Lotto is a favorite among bettors who prefer smaller, more frequent prizes. With a fixed prize of ₱4,500 for a ₱10 bet, the game offers a decent return if you hit the exact order. The total payout for the day across all three 3D draws was substantial: 364 + 192 + 603 = 1,159 winners, each getting ₱4,500, for a combined payout of ₱5,215,500.
If you’re playing 3D, consider using a mix of hot and cold numbers. The digit 1 appeared in both the 2PM (as second digit) and 5PM (as second digit) draws, showing that some digits can repeat across different times. However, past results don’t guarantee future outcomes.
2D Lotto: Evening Draw Attracts 569 Winners
The 2D Lotto also had three draws on September 30, 2026. The 2PM draw produced 09-29 with 1,000 winners—the maximum number of winners for a single 2D draw, indicating a very popular combination. The 5PM draw gave 07-15 with 252 winners, and the 9PM draw yielded 02-01 with 569 winners. Each winner received ₱4,000.
The 2D Lotto is the simplest game: pick two numbers from 1 to 31 in exact order. The 2PM combination 09-29 is a pair of odd numbers, both in the 20s range for the second digit. The high number of winners suggests that many players use patterns or lucky numbers that aligned with this draw. The 5PM combination 07-15 is a mix of low and mid numbers, while the 9PM combination 02-01 is a pair of very low numbers, with 02 being the lowest possible even number and 01 the lowest odd.
With a fixed prize of ₱4,000 for a ₱10 bet, the 2D Lotto is attractive for beginners. The total payout for the day: 1,000 + 252 + 569 = 1,821 winners, each getting ₱4,000, totaling ₱7,284,000. That’s a significant amount going back to players.
If you’re looking to improve your 2D strategy, consider that the 9PM draw had a combination of 02-01, which are consecutive numbers. Some players avoid consecutive numbers, but they do come up occasionally. The 2PM draw had a gap of 20 between the two numbers, which is less common. Variety is key.
What These Results Mean for Bettors and the Next Draw
The September 30, 2026, draws paint a mixed picture. On one hand, the two big jackpot games—Grand Lotto 6/55 and Megalotto 6/45—had no winners, causing the jackpots to balloon. On the other hand, the smaller games (4D, 3D, 2D) produced thousands of winners, distributing millions of pesos in prizes.
For bettors, the rollovers in the major games are both a challenge and an opportunity. The odds of winning the Grand Lotto jackpot are 1 in 28,989,675, and for Megalotto, 1 in 8,145,060. These are long odds, but the potential payout is life-changing. The fact that no one won on September 30 means the next draw will have an even bigger prize, attracting more players and increasing the total pool.
If you’re planning to play the next Grand Lotto or Megalotto, consider these tips from seasoned bettors:
- Avoid birthday numbers exclusively. Since many players pick numbers 1-31, the winning combinations often include numbers above 31, leading to fewer winners and bigger shares for those who do win.
- Mix high and low numbers. A balanced combination like 3 low, 3 high, or 4 low, 2 high is statistically more common than all low or all high.
- Don’t ignore the sum. The sum of the winning numbers often falls within one standard deviation of the average. For 6/55, the average sum is around 165; for 6/45, it’s around 138.
- Play consistently but responsibly. Lottery is a game of chance. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
For the smaller games, the payouts are more frequent but smaller. The 4D, 3D, and 2D lotto are great for players who enjoy regular wins. The key is to understand the odds and prize structures. For example, the 2D Lotto has odds of 1 in 961 for exact order, which is much better than the 6-digit games.
Looking ahead, the next draw for the major games is on Friday, October 2, 2026. The Grand Lotto jackpot is estimated to be around ₱240 million, and Megalotto around ₱86 million. The 3D and 2D lotto draws continue daily, including weekends. Check the LottoLakbay website for real-time updates.
